Abstract

Based on the Cox-Merz rule and Eyring's expression for the nonlinear shear viscosity, a Wagner-type constitutive relation with no nontrivial adjustable parameters is proposed for simple shear viscoelasticity. The predictions for a number of non-steady shear flows are worked out analytically. It is shown that most features of shear viscoelasticity are reproduced by the model.
